I've used credit cards for years at the self serve pumps, mainly because it
saves me 5 cents per litre and saves me carrying a lot of cash, and I've never
had it come up as anything but the actual amount I pumped. I also used to get
receipts when needed at the pump, but it's ages since I've worried about that
so I can't really say if that is still working well or not.

Your experiences may vary..    B)
